Chapter 3: Wisdom Comes At a Price!
In Inuyasha's POV
Another dream, huh? Geez I suppose this couldn't be a coincidence could it? Confusing is what it is! Damn it! Nothing seems real anymore. Suppose I DO need to ask for *gulp* some experienced help. Well I don't see any other option. I worry so damn much! That broad needs to learn not to run off without a fair warning to us! I mean, I'm so damn wrapped up that I'm having crazy dreams! . or are these "dreams" something else. Something more perhaps? Hmph! Even if I DID need help who could I go to? Well first off, someone who knows how to deal with these situations, someone who has dealt with the depths of the spiritual world, one who knows how to work with other peoples' feelings, a trained individual who knows exactly how complicated women are. Shheesh, only one ass hole I know like that.
"Well look who's hear" I just glanced at my "councilor" with a I'll beat your ass if you screw with me look. They smiled warmly. "well I can see your ACTUALLY serious Inuyasha." "Can It Kiaidai!" I snapped at the wrinkly women. A vein bulged in my forehead. "This is getting to be serious!" She kept that same stupid smile on her wrinkly old face. I want to cut it off, maybe I will after she tries to help me. Sheesh, this is embarrassing. "Alright Inuyasha," she said calmly, "so these "dreams", tell me again about them." She sat on the floor, legs crossed and arms folded, she was listening closely. "Well," I sighed, "It's like this, its always in some black realm, only me and Kagome are there, alone." She nodded. I continued, "Anyways, we seem to be communicating through dreams somehow. Kagome said if we meet in a dream again she'll tell me about the last one, to prove it." Kiaidai sat there quiet and I became quiet also. I patiently waited for her response, which in some ways I was also scared to receive. But I wouldn't let her know that, the old hag would nag me even more. "Inuyasha, have you considered perhaps possibly Kagome can INFACT use dreams to talk to you?" Kiadai said calmly. "Wha-What?! That's crazy!" I exclaimed loudly, 'but it should surprise me I guess.' I thought to myself as I sat back down, back turned to the old bitch. "Inuysha! Look at yourself, so miserable, yet inside you know that you and Kagome's love is so strong the dream communication is possible. I know you hate the truth but let's face it, you and Kagome truly love each other." With that she fell silent, letting the words of uncomfortating wisdome consume me, sinking deeper into my pores.I'm just going to suffer inside for no reason, only because Kagome makes me this way. Why the hell did she run off like this? I couldn't and didn't want to take it anymore. I rose up, Kiadai tried to stop me but with a grunt and swipe of my claws she backed down. As my foot rose to leave her doorway I felt something tugging at me, something saying that I did appreciate her help. So I said the only thing I could. "Tell this to anyone and I will spew your pathetic organs all over this pathetic village, you hear me old hag!?" I clenched my fist as I rose it in the air to show that I meant business. She just nodded her old head and after I left she whispered, "Your Welcome Inuyasha."
I dashed through the forest with top speed, cutting down some trees along the way. A rage built inside of me. I looked in my self deeper and it finally came out. Under all the garbage I let myself be, I am deeply in love with Kagome. Damn It! I hate this! I'm going crazy just because of something so ridiculous! But. I'm just. scared. I don't want Kagome to ever leave me. I won't lose her, in fact, I'm going to get her right now! With that I ran towards the old well. It dangled with vines and moss rippled off the rugged sides. I just stared at it. Did I really want to go do this? The thoughts raced simultaneously through my head. I wasn't sure if I wanted to really do this or not. A pulse of hesitation collided with a burning love which caused me to fall, breaking out a single tear. My long hair covered my sparkling face, not letting the tear be revealed. Finally I looked up at the alluring well. I took a deep breath. "Kagome!!!" I yelled as I ran towards the well. I sprung in the air allowing myself to free-fall down the portal which would lead me to Kagome. The drop, which usually only took a fell seconds, felt like an eternal rapturing. I finally felt the air whip my face as gravity took its toll. As the closer I got, the darker the void seemed. And when it was time for the warp, I could only see nothing. Until an Image of dirt appeared and my face met the hard ground. "Ow! Damn it, that hurt!" I just laid there. A sweat drop fell down my face. And the only thing I could think was the well had indeed stopped working. Suddenly it hit me, Kagome said in the dream I must re-open the well from my side of it. What the Hell does that supposed to mean?! Oh well I suppose I COULD try again..
I climbed back to the top of the well, and when I reached the outer edges I perched myself upon the well sides. Did I really want to do this? Pssht! Of Course!
I once again took another running start and plunged head first letting the wind whip my face as I fell into the dark well. Big Mistake! I ate dirt you could say. The hell is wrong with this well, maybe just a couple more times.
(some where off in the woods, Miroku and Shippo were watching near by, Inuyasha didn't notice.)
"Miroku should we tell him to give up already?" Shippo said confusingly as he stared at Inuyasha's pitiful attempts one after another. Miroku turned around a sweat drop formed, "Nope. just let him figure it out on his on."
Miroku wandered off. Shippo sighed and whispered to himself, 'poor Inuyasha. he's love sick and needs a cure. but. why doesn't the well teleport him to Kagome's era?' Shipoo then quickly followed Miroku and the left Inuyasha to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shippo was about to turn back around after he had caught up with Miroku. He didn't like what he was feeling in his stomach. It was a sick feeling, like the kind you get when you know something terrible was about to happen to someone. "M-miroku." Shippo said shakily, "per-perhaps we should, um, you know.check on Inuyahsa."
Miroku turned awkwardly as he considerd the young demon's request. "Why would we do that Shippo? He's just trying to figure out his feelings."
"I know!" Shippo snapped aggressively, "but I have a bad feeling, just like last time when he was attacked." Miroku's eyes widened, and he leaned down to Shippo's height. He placed a firm hand on Shippo's shoulder. "You could sense the attack coming?" Miroku asked. Shippos put his head down and nodded. Miroku quickly took Shippo's small arm in his head and ran back to Inuyahsa as fast as feet would allow him to go. He dodged tree branches and rocks through out the way, he could just picture that demon once again attacking Inuyasha, but he also knew for some odd reason the demon was afraid of him. Because of his Wind Tunnel more than likely, but the demon said that his boss was the one that said to fear Miroku. Miroku briefly thought to himself as he closed in on their destination, 'I bet Naraku is behind this!' Miroku burst through the bushes and quickly tackled Inuysha, who was perched on the well. They all were arguing but soon realized they were floating above the well. Before Inuysha could swear another word, they all collapsed into the well. Except this time they all had a full course dirt meal, with some mushrooms and grass on the side. Inuyahsa quickly sprung back out the well and Miroku soon followed. Before Miroku could explain Inuyasha furiously exploded, yelling, "What the fuck are you doing here Miroku? Why the Hell are you guys spying on me? And why did you guys attack me, damn it! I can't get any privacy!" Miroku just solemnly stood there and responded calmly, as Inuyasha hated, "We sensed that demon that attacked you is close by and was about to try to slay you again, Inuyasha...that's what happened." Inuyahsa was puzzled and didn't know how to respond. Hejust did as Inuyahsa would do, he pushed Miroku and cruely said, "Yea whatever, I didn't need or want your help during that demon fight anyways, I could have and was going to beat him. Now you and Shippo get away from me. That's what I need, not your help. Because when I want your help I'll ask for it? Got It?!" Miroku nodded and Inuyasha turned and bawled his fists up and jumped away into the forest. Tears of hate and anger began to form in his demon eyes, but he wiped them away and began to run harder and harder. Miroku and Shippo were alone as far as they knew and Shippo asked innocently, "Will he ever come back Miroku?" He continued to tug at Miroku's purple velvet robe. Miroku just remained quiet and stern. He remained at that spot for several hurtful moments. Eventually he sighed and walked toward the nearest village, Shippo followed and almost to cry. Minutes after they left, a voice in the woods could be heard, the voice of the demon that ambushed Inuyasha saying, "I thought you said the monk would never know of us here! He keeps showing up every where we go!" Snarles of demonic beings echoed through the woods. But it was interrupted by a calmer voice that soothed the creature, it said, "do not fear, for as we just witnessed, the monk will not be in our way any longer, and just to make sure I'll take care of him myself, just as I promised."
